is really really awful. I'm revisiting Phase 1 to get back on track again, but I didn't have any phase 1 foods for dinner tonight (and I'm sick with a cold so I didn't want to leave the house). I oven-baked a SBD frozen pizza with a little extra cheese and some jalapenos on top. Eeeewwwww! What a tasteless cardboard crust! And could they have put any LESS tomato sauce on it?! How yucky!
Dr. A needs to be picketing outide of Kraft's headquarters!
The original versions were really good. They had to be baked in the oven. But they revised the recipe when they made the microwavable versions, and I didn't think they were as good.
I'm in phase 1 so I wouldn't have it anyway but it is so easy to make pizza with a pita that I haven't tried these. Hmm. I wonder if the store has any portobella's that look good? I love those for pizza.
For Ph2, I really liked making pizza with Flat Out bread. They have whole wheat, and you just brush it with olive oil, bake it for like 7 minutes (instructions are on the package) and then add your own toppings, so you choose how much NSA sauce you add, LF cheese, veggies, etc. Then you bake it some more and voila! Thin crust pizza that's healthy!
Thanks for the pita idea, Barb. And Weezle, I never heard of Flat Out bread. I will look for it when I get to a better grocery store than the kind they have around my house. Usually the Chicago burbs are where I find really good stuff.
I made a Phase 1 pizza using strips of zucchini for a fake crust and then Italian sausage, mushroom, onion and green pepper with NSA sauce and mozzarella on top in a little bitty glass skillet thingie I have. It was about the size of a personal pizza you'd get in a restaurant, added up to about 450 calories and was extremely hearty and satisfying. In fact, I think I'll make another soon...
I just didn't have anything good in the house to eat today and was feeling too under the weather to venture out. No more SBD frozen pizzas though! Yuck!
Thanks for the heads up. I haven't tried any of the SBD products yet. I would probably like the pizza with the flat out bread because I like a really thin crusted pizza anyway. I've done it with pitas and didn't care for it so much.
I also, don't think the SBD ones are that bad. I love all the other ideas for the fresh ones though. Only a few more days of Phase 1 and a WW pizza may be my first things. YUM!
I usually find Flat Out bread at Walmart Super Center or Schnucks, and it's around the deli area. Act like you're walking up to buy some meat, and then look down and there's a little shelf all the way around the deli that you can find Flat Out bread on. They also make good wraps and quesadillas. Definitely worth a shot! The pizzas are my favorite!
